President Donald Trump on Monday directed the Pentagon to begin the process of establishing a sixth military branch, the “Space Force.”
Trump, speaking at a meeting of the National Space Council, ordered the establishment of the Space Force.
“I am hereby directing the Department of Defense and Pentagon to immediately begin the process necessary to establish a Space Force as the sixth branch of the Armed Forces,” Trump said. “Our destiny beyond the Earth is not only a matter of national identity, but a matter of national security.”

“We are going to have a space force,” Trump said. “An Air Force and a Space Force. Separate, but equal.”

There are currently five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard.
This is not the first time Trump has suggested a Space Force, but it is the first time he has ordered that one be established.
President Trump in May had announced that his administration was “seriously thinking” of adding a sixth branch to the United States military called the “Space Force.”
The President previously floated the idea back in March.
“We are actually thinking of a sixth, and that would be the Space Force,” Trump had said.
“We are getting very big in space, both militarily and for other reasons, and we are seriously thinking of the Space Force,” Trump added.
On March 13, the President told an audience of service members at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar that he suggested to his administration the addition of a space force offhandedly, but ultimately took the idea more seriously given the importance of national security.
“Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea,” Trump told the crowd. “I said, ‘Maybe we need a new force, we’ll call it the Space Force,’ and I was not really serious. Then I said, ‘What a great idea,’ maybe we’ll have to do that,” the President said.
“So think of that, Space Force,” Trump continued. “Because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous. You saw what happened the other day, and tremendous success. From the very beginning, many of our astronauts have been soldiers and Airmen, Coast Guard men and Marines. And our service members will be vital to ensuring America continues to lead the way into the stars.”
Much of America’s space endeavors remain privatized through the likes of SpaceX, though the administration has allotted about $20 billion for NASA through 2019.
We’ve already had one since the early 50’s

NASA means “to deceive” in Hebrew
NASA also means Need Another Seven Astronauts.
🙂 hey rz!
Very interesting
Just one more effort to keep wasting taxpayer dollars on the Military Industrial Complex rather than on improving the country.
Traitor ronald raygun would be proud!
“New and improved nasa, now with MORE rockets?! What’s better than rockets that have more vacuum than space to $uck $hekels out of you? MORE rockets from the mic you know and love so well!”
chump is raygun on $teroids and history truly does repeat itself.
Will Trump salute the Pope? ( or is only Kim Jong worthy of such buffoonish accolades?)
Or….will the Pope blow the Trumpet?
Nah…. They’ll all just blow each other….
Ha ha ha!! You are a most unusual pastor.

Article typo…barely caught this one.
“Trump Orders Cremation of “Space Force” As Sixth Military Branch”.
““So think of that, Space Force,” Trump continued. “Because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous.”
Funny how it’s still never enough money coming in to fix the problems at home like deporting all of the illegals and defending our borders, but always enough to waste on ridiculous black budget projects that have Saturday morning cartoon names like “SPACE FORCE”.
Unfrigginbelievable……….
Looks like they are trying to get their false flag alien invasion scenario in the works in order to bring their New World Order and to get us to all sing, “Kumbaya!” to them as our savior.
Kiss my ass!
Greetings.
Saw a large van several years ago here in St. Petersburg.
It had Air Force Space Command on side and large folding
sat. ant. on top, ref. http://www.afspc.af.mil.
MacDill Air Force Base is across the bay in Tampa.
Did some searching, AF SC has some 40,000 grunt workers.
More billions for programs that don’t work.

A Forbes mag. editor, http://www.BenjaminFulford.net, hinted that the
Luciferian Darkinatti are being quarantined, not allowed
to flee Earth in their secret mag. lev. space program craft.
They are being hunted, and will bite dust.

Whats next?
Capt x is deploying to mars to fight one of 3 types of aliens.
As I tell everyone, the elitist bastards will never let you leave this planet without their authorization. They will never let you explore space until they can control it first. And this is their way of doing it. Same reason why they won’t allow you to travel to Antarctica.
Control, control, CONTROL!!!
Imperial star destroyers are next on the horizon, specially equipped with tie fighters.
